My rabbit keeps sneezing and has a runny nose. Is it serious?

[]

Answer

Sneezing and a runny nose in a rabbit can be concerning. It could be a sign of 'snuffles,' which is typically a bacterial infection caused by Pasteurella. Other possibilities include allergies, environmental irritants like dust or strong scents, or even dental problems affecting the tear ducts. Monitor your rabbit for other symptoms such as discharge from the eyes, lethargy, loss of appetite, or difficulty breathing. If left untreated, respiratory infections can become severe in rabbits. It's best to consult with a veterinarian experienced in rabbit care for an accurate diagnosis and treatment plan. Speak to Dial A Vet via a video consult should you need further guidance.
